Following the death of a loved one, you and your family understandably wish to honor the departed person’s memory with a respectful burial or cremation. Bringing your business to a funeral home amid such a trying time involves a great deal of trust. You are placing your trust in the funeral home’s professionals to ensure that the service is according to your family’s wishes. When that trust is violated, a civil claim can help the family secure financial compensation for certain damages or losses.

WHAT IS FUNERAL HOME NEGLIGENCE OR ABUSE?

While many families place their trust in funeral homes all across the country, the unfortunate fact is that a number of funeral companies abuse or even invalidate that trust. Funeral home negligence can take many forms, such as:

Incompetence (whether deliberate or an honest mistake)
Greed
Abuse
Perversion
Deception
Wrongdoing which leads to cover-ups

When funeral home negligence occurs and your family is rightfully outraged, filing a civil lawsuit with La Justicia’s team of personal injury attorneys can be the best means of holding the funeral home responsible for its wrongdoing. Getting justice for the pain you’ve experienced is possible through a funeral home negligence civil lawsuit with La Justicia’s army of dedicated and aggressive lawyers.

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO FILE A FUNERAL HOME NEGLIGENCE OR ABUSE CLAIM?

Funeral home negligence or abuse is a subset of personal injury civil law. In California, personal injury civil claims (lawsuits) are bound to a deadline known as a statute of limitations. This deadline dictates how long and you and your family have to sue or file a claim for financial compensation after experiencing funeral home negligence.

For the vast majority of California personal injury and general negligence cases – including funeral home abuse – victims typically have two years from the date of the incident to file claims. However, La Justicia’s experienced team of funeral home negligence lawyers strongly recommends that, despite the difficult circumstances, you and your family pursue the claim immediately after the incident occurs.

Filing a timely funeral home negligence claim ensures that you have the best chance of recovering the maximum financial compensation you deserve for the harm you and your family have endured. Unfortunately, waiting to file your claim days, weeks, or even a year or more after the incident occurs can jeopardize your ability to recover the financial compensation that should rightfully be awarded. Delayed claims can allow for evidence to be destroyed, memories to fade, and liability to become more and more difficult to prove. Accordingly, funeral home negligence civil actions should always be brought immediately.

COMMON EXAMPLES OF FUNERAL HOME ABUSE AND NEGLIGENCE

Funeral home abuse and negligence can take a number of forms and have a unique impact on each individual family. Some of the more common examples of funeral home abuse and negligence that La Justicia’s team of attorneys encounters include:

Delivering the deceased to the wrong grave site
Improper/inadequate embalming
Mishandling the body
Failing to store the body properly
Cremating the incorrect body
Dropping or damaging the body
Losing or misplacing ashes
Losing or misplacing the body
Stealing valuables from a body
Stealing organs from a body to sell
Financial mistreatment of the deceased’s family
Placing multiple bodies in one casket
Placing the wrong body in the wrong casket
Robbing the corpse
Sexually abusing or maiming the corpse
Delayed services (failing to embalm, cremate, or move the body for an extended period of time)

La Justicia has a dedicated Funeral Home Negligence and Abuse Division of proven attorneys who sue careless funeral homes and their respective employees and fight to recover damages for the affected family members.

WHAT CAN YOU DO AFTER BEING THE VICTIM OF FUNERAL HOME NEGLIGENCE?

Filing a civil lawsuit is a means of holding a negligent funeral home accountable. It is recommended that you speak with a qualified and experienced funeral home negligence attorney at La Justicia to discuss your claim.

During the consultation phase, your team of La Justicia funeral home negligence lawyers will likely review what proving such a case entails:

Demonstrating that the funeral home owed you and your family a duty of care (as they were responsible for treating your deceased loved one in a respectful manner but failed to do so).
Demonstrating that the funeral home breached that duty of care by treating your deceased loved one in a dishonest or disrespectful manner.
Demonstrating that the breach on the part of the funeral home caused you and your family harm (and, as a result, since the funeral home was responsible for the negligence, they are therefore legally liable for damages).
Demonstrating that you endured losses and suffering as a result of the funeral home’s negligence (whether emotional, psychological, or financial).

When a funeral home breaches its duty of care to you and your family by committing negligence, you may be entitled to a substantial cash settlement through a civil lawsuit. Filing your claim with La Justicia can help ensure that you and your family recover all applicable damages for your funeral home negligence claim.

WHAT DAMAGES MAY BE RECOVERED IN A FUNERAL HOME NEGLIGENCE CLAIM?
